Some electronics issues with some of these bands in prelims. Hopefully no electronics gremlins tonight 

[Josegjr]

Congrats to United! Great surprise!

[SoundOff]

Does anybody have a video of JBA or United, maybe even Edinburg?? Also very surprised to not see Del Rio in the last half of the block. Great job to all bands! Congratulations United HS! 

[DeadMascot]

Wait! Del Rio won Music, JBA won Visual and GE, but United got FIRST?!?!? Congrats to them but how😭

[deeznutz]

United winning 4a but taking no captions? Even if their caption scores were right below the others and well rounded out, it wouldn't be enough to warrant a win? JBA took GE and Visual and Del Rio took Vis, is this even mathematically possible? Unless there was some sort of penalization I am not aware of, still pretty crazy

[riverdrums]

I thought the same thing, can’t wait for recap to come out later and see what happened 

[riverdrums]

My guess was a penalty of some sort was handed out somewhere

JBA’s music this year is wild. I’m also extremely obsessed with their diversity in terms of music over the years. 

[southtexasneedsmorerecogni]

i don't think a penalty would have effected it, united probably just had the better overall performance 🤷

[riverdrums]

If you look at the top half/bottom half groupings, tonight is going to be electric! Majority of these programs are well Season for night shows, and I’m sure will make necessary adjustments. 
 

Roma sweeping AA I’m sure has Pioneer fired up. 
 

Pieper new to the McAllen Region and now Class AAA champs, where’d they fair overall?!?

Battle in AAAA land with crosstown rivals United and Alexander. Preview of the Area G all starters perhaps??

Just trying to figure out the math part of it due to the fact that JBA received Vis and GE. Math isn’t mathing yet lol

This! It’s amazing to see the growth and influence of south texas bands over the years. 
 

Ain’t nothing wrong with a little bit of friendly competition, all in all, every single one of these bands have a uniqueness to them and I am extremely excited to see how they grow throughout the season & the coming years! 

[riverdrums]

Iron sharpens Iron! What a great regional!

the way I'm seeing it is that united won because the other 2 bands, Del Rio and John B. Alexander didn't place well in the captions they didn't win. So it could be possible that United had a possible 2nd place placement in all 3 while Del Rio and Alexander were much lower in the placements.

This seems probable. Good catch!
